WAY OF LIFE - The Puppets - 1983
We play with passion
We dress in tune
We didn't know if we were mocked or seen or in between
But while at the border
We got an order
They said romance just wasn't party line leave it behind now
When it came to loving
How'd you do it
Oh when it came to loving
How'd you do it
We practiced long embraces
Kissed such familiar faces
But no one ever closed their eyes
We learn to live with a little pain my dear
We love the tension in the atmosphere
It was a way of life
Though not the best I'm sure
It was a way of life
Dance in the darkness
Dance 'til you die
We didn't know if we would ever see the day again
But while at the border
We got an order
They said romance just wasn't party line leave it behind
When it came to loving
How'd you do it
Oh when it came to loving
How'd you do it
We practiced long embraces
Kissed such familiar faces
But no one ever closed their eyes
We learn to live with a little pain my dear
We love the tension in the atmosphere
It was a way of life
Though not the best I'm sure
It was a way of life
It is a crime against all decent, nice and fluffy things in the universe that this song has practically vanished. NuRo/New Wave synthpop never - never, folks - got better than this. If you haven't heard this gem, and boogied to it, I feel sorry for you. I truly do.
